There she was, just a-walkin' down the street

...Singin' doo waa diddy, diddy dum, diddy doo...



Heeyyyyyy...I remember you! so good to see you!





Molly = thrilled!! (love her new birthday outfit from the Lovely Donna? thanks you beauty queen you!! she looks smashing in coral/peach)


This picture was up on the church's projector screen...titled "Jesus Laughing"...I thought it was kinda funny. love the hippy pix of Jesus!

I love the expression on Molly's face...she looked at Mel like this for quite a while!





The Three M's...


Mel and the purple group she was a part of..."The Purple Prayer Panthers"...kind of a blurry shot!


The whole gang..Mel's somewhere in the middle.


Well, not exactly, but she WAS singing when I first laid eyes on her again, after the three longest days of my life....(such an exaggerator!!). Melly looked so grown up to me...I got teary-eyed as I watched my young lady sing with fellow campers! (I get so emotional, baby)...




...when Molly first regarded her, she kept looking at her in total disbelief! it was kinda cute...I tried to capture it with my cam but it's never as cute in photos as it is in person!

So that's what happened here in a big way today!! Yah!! Melanie returneth!! Molly won't let her out of her sight tonight!! it's precious.

And in other news...um...Ethan had a tooth pulled today!! He was hurting all day yesterday...lost a filling in a molar on Monday...noticed the tooth was cracked. I thought for sure it was a grown up tooth. Great. Called our dentist...he's outta town till next Monday...so we called the back up dentist...Dr. Arnold. Great guy...great peeps in his office...told me that it was indeed a baby tooth...whew...and that they were going to pull it. The new tooth was pushing on thru and babies get brittle...hence the crack. E. handled the extraction like a champ!! (handled it so well that he just left for a few hours of work with his dad tonight)...I sat in the waiting room with MOLLY and LEVI...and you can imagine how that went! otherwise, it's a quiet, elliptical filled evening!! Time to jump on and watch a few "Monk" episodes while burning some calories!! Hope your Wednesday was as AWESOME as ours!!

Love and peace to you!! Laurie and family!

Yay, welcome back Mel-Mel! I knew it would be a wonderful reunion, and the expression on Molly's face is priceless. You have such a talent with pictures, not to mention words. Hope your time together is special this week!

WELCOME HOME, MEL! Your break is over!!! You look so pink and sunny, so pretty. I hope that you had a great time away at camp. I can't wait to hear all about it. I know that your momma and your moo were missing you something fierce. We missed seeing you when mom stopped by on Tuesday night. Glad you're home safe and sound! xoxoxoB
